PS4 4.50 update is due to launch March 9, here Express.co.uk run through the features.

Away from that, Sony have also confirmed that the PS4 Update 4.50 is being released today, adding an array of helpful features.

The big software update will feature a number of previously unannounced features – including Boost Mode for PS4 Pro only and improved 2D visuals for PS VR.

This will benefit the PS VR's cinematic mode and provide better, crisper images.

The PS4 4.50 update will bring with it the previously announced external HDD support, customisable wallpapers and 3D Blu-Ray support for PS VR.

The external HDD support, a long awaited feature, will mean PS4 owners can save the application data for a game directly to an external hard drive.

This will help free up memory on the PS4's internal memory – which on the base 500GB can be taken up quickly.

A post about the PS4 4.50 update on the official PlayStation blog said: “Our next major system software update for PlayStation 4, version 4.50 (codenamed SASUKE), rolls out tomorrow. Thanks to those who have taken part in the beta and provided us with useful feedback.

“We’ve already shared some of the key features last month, like external HDD support and custom wallpaper, but that wasn’t all this update has to offer. Here’s a look at some additional features heading to your system soon.”

A leak on Reddit that emerged earlier this week previously suggested the release date for the PS4 4.50 update was going to be on Tuesday March 7.

And elsewhere the Chinese PlayStation website posted the patch notes for the big PS4 4.50 update ahead of the release date being confirmed.
